Critical Thinking Questions:

(Marks 5)

Question 1:

(1 Mark)

Suppose you are a member of a group asked to find ways to cut costs throughout your organization
for the upcoming year. Sales have fallen sharply, and the company is in danger of going out of
business. After gathering information, your group concludes that the company will save the most
money by freezing pay for a year, despite a tradition of annual salary increases. How can you make
sure this is a fair decision? How can you make sure that others in the organization will see it as a fair
decision?

Question 2:

Case Analysis

(2 Marks)

Care, a health consultancy company in Saudi Arabia, is studying the economic benefits of a program
of preventative COVID-19 flu vaccinations. Care has to give advice to the government for COVID19 vaccination. If vaccinations are not introduced, then the estimated cost to the government if flu
strikes in the next year are SR.70m with probability 0.1, SR.100m with probability 0.3, and SR.150m
with probability 0.6. It is estimated that such a program will cost SR.70m and that the probability of
flu striking in the next year is 0.75.
One alternative open to the committee is to institute an "early-warning" monitoring scheme (costing
SR.30m), which will enable it to detect an outbreak of flu early and hence institute a rush vaccination
program (costing SR.100m because of the need to vaccinate quickly before the outbreak spreads).
Question
